Follow these steps and you can be certain that you'll receive exactly what you paid for.

This excerpt below is from a New York Times article dated March 18, 2010 in quotes;

"The strongest protections are when you pay by credit card," says Carole Reynolds, a senior lawyer at the Federal Trade Commission. Under the Truth in Lending Act, consumers' maximum liability for unauthorized use of their credit card is only $50, and when a card is used online, it's zero.
For extra protection against having your card number stolen, consider using one-time credit card numbers for online purchases, which you can often set up with your card provider." Here is a link to the article:

We continue to receive emails from people every day telling us how they have been ripped off when paying by COD and Western Union. There are many replica websites that are set up just to scam unsuspecting buyers. The Internet has no place for these kinds of criminals. There is world wide interest in Replica Watches, especially "swiss grade".

Because of this, many scammers have set up multiple web sites that accept only COD or WU payments. These scammers collect large amounts of money in short periods of time.

They are able to get away with this and avoid fraud charges because they do ship their customers a product. However, they ship low quality Asian replicas instead of Swiss so that they can give a tracking number, thus proving delivery of merchandise.

With thousands of people searching the internet each day looking to purchase a replica watch, these crooks have found a goldmine. Customers are usually influenced by other factors, such as low prices or how nice they think the pictures look. You will be surprised how many people do not listen to common sense.

We cannot stress enough how unsafe COD orders are. It boggles our minds every time we hear that customers believe they are allowed to inspect a COD package before paying for it! This is a lie! Any payment other than credit card provides no warranties, no guarantees, no matter what anyone tells you!

BOTTOM LINE 1: Accepts Credit Card Payments

This is the single most important factor when deciding on what dealer to purchase from. You will notice from doing your research that most replica watch websites do not accept credit card payments. Many companies set up sites in order to lure unsuspecting customers into paying by COD which is totally unsafe. You CANNOT inspect a COD package, we cannot stress this enough. It is strictly against (FEDEX, UPS, DHL, UPS's) policy to allow the inspection of a COD, they are strictly a courier delivery service, not facilitators of a business transaction. They will not take and accept the responsibility to permit customers to open a COD package and inspect its contents before paying for it. However do not take our word for it, we encourage you to call any of the shipping companies and ask! The websites that make these bogus claims do so because they cannot get customers to purchase via legitimate secure means such as credit card. Payment by credit card is the safest way because in order to qualify for a merchant account and become a licensed member of Visa/Mastercard and Amex, companies must undertake detailed background checks and have a very good credit history. Simply put, only trusted reputable companies and individuals will ever be approved to process credit card transactions online. Credit card offers you the protection and guarantee that you will receive what has been advertised by the seller. Companies that accept credit cards are contracutally obligated to provide you with the quality and service as mentioned or they will simply lose the priviledge and have their account terminated. The reports of credit card "phishing" simply do not hold merit. US law clearly states that any unauthorized charge reported by the cardholder is subject to only a maximum of $50 and in most cased waived by the credit card companies. This is a billion dollar industry and the major banks all have insurance which is underwritten to cover these type of fraudelent activities. It's a thousand times more reassuring and secure to put faith in your credit card company and watch dealer who has been vigorously scrutinized instead of the dealer who accepts only CASH payments via COD and Western Union. There is nothing more distressing then reading email after email from customers who ordered via COD only to receive a $20 asian watch. We are not slamming COD purchases alltogether, there are some reputable companies online that do offer COD as one of their methods of payment but not their only acceptable one. The safest method for online payments is with your credit card or via a third party such as escrow.com.

BOTTOM LINE 2: Accurate Specifications

There are so many sites using so many different specifications and descriptions its no wonder there is so much confusion.From 37 Jewel Titonic movements to 41 jewel Rolex movements there are many misleading and dishonest dealers out there. There are currently 2 different grades of genuine swiss made rolex replicas on the market. Older style swiss quality replicas pre 2004 era with no new Rolex upgrades and a base 21 or 25 Jewel movemen. In order to verify that you are actually purchasing a 2010 Swiss Grade 1 Rolex Replica please make sure that the website in question offers at least 6 of the 7 main specifications we list below. If it cannot pass this test then it is one less website you should consider. Next step is to verify their payment options and confirm they have a valid contact number and a "real" person to correspond with. Below is a list of some of the new updates found on the latest 2010 swiss replicas.

• 904L Stainless Steel: Higher quality then 316 and 440
• "V"  serial number between lugs which corresponds to Rolex 2010 production
• REAL Ceramic Bezels on Sport Models. Rolex now offers their submariner and GMT master lines the option of either a standard enamel or a 100% ceramic bezel. This will be found on true swiss grade 1 timepieces.
• Thicker hands on Yachtmaster and Green Submariner models
• Waterproof to 164 Feet
• ETA 2893-A2 movement on GMT Master. 4th hand fuctions seperately for setting of seperate time zone.
• New Oris ETA 2892-2 27 Jewel Movement which is an upgrade from the base 2836-2 ETA 25 Jewel Movement.
• Closed 6 and 9 Date Fonts There is no more open gap on the 6 and 9 date font -O-Ring (Rubber Seal) - Older Grade 1 Swiss Replicas were without this important feature.
  

If a dealer is not offering these specifications on their swiss models then you are not receiving a 2010 Swiss Replica. You will receive either an older swiss model, japanese, asian replica or nothing at all.



BOTTOM LINE 3: Plausible Pricing

We ask that you use common sense when shopping for either a Swiss or Japanese replica. Many dealers misrepresent their product as Swiss when in fact they are shipping a high quality Japanese replica for a lower price. There are sites claiming "wholesale" prices to the public for Swiss between $400-$600. You will NEVER find a genuine grade 1 swiss for under $800, as the saying goes if its too good to be true, it probably is, this situation is no different. Solid 18K Gold is currently selling in the marketplace at approximately $1,000 per ounce so how is it possible that some website claim to sell swiss for $400-$600? Impossible!! Genuine Swiss Replica watches are quality timepieces, they may be replicas, but that really is not relevant since the quality of parts and craftmanship is comparable to watches that retail for thousands of dollars in jewelry stores. The movement in a Swiss Replica is made by ETA which is found in authentic Cartier, Omega, Movado brand name watches so you are getting a quality watch that will last a lifetime. So when a site claims to sell "swiss" for $400 you should dismiss it as an obvious scam. You cannot expect to buy a genuine Swiss Replica for under $800, that simply is not possible since the wholesale prices range between $500-$650. Sure anyone can claim to offer you an ETA movement watch with sapphire crystal, solid gold 2-Tone bracelet and everything else for $500 but if they don't accept credit cards then what guarantee do you have, you can be pretty certain that you will receive a Japanese replica or even nothing at all. Swiss Replicas are undervalued because they are not manufactured by Rolex and there is no apparent resale value. But what you are getting is a swiss quality product, the look and feel of a Rolex and most importantly a great watch. Regarding Japanese replicas, there are so many different qualities on the market that we recommend you follow our guidelines and site reviews when contemplating a purchase.

We have also discovered that the $500-$600 websites that claim to sell swiss are in fact selling grade 2 or lower quality Japanese watches. Have a look at their specifications and you will clearly see that their 2-Tone models are labeled as "Wrapped Gold", well real swiss grade 1 watches as you know, only come in solid 18K gold on the 2-tone.

BOTTOM LINE 4: Reasonable Warranty and Money Back Guarantee

Guideline number 4 corresponds with number 1 which goes to show you why paying by COD or Western Union should never be an option. A seller may offer a money back guarantee but when you have already given your cash away, you have no recourse if the company refuses to either refund or repair your product. Remember that the money back guarantee is only as good as the company who offers it. Always ensure that you are protected by a 100%, no questions asked guarantee. All credible companies that offer credit card payments are bound to clearly declare on their website a complete return/refund policy. Most websites allow 7-10 days for the customer to inspect the watch with the opportunity to return it if not satisfied. There are many misconceptions about warranty and repair information regarding replica watches. There is an urban legend that says "most jewelers will not work on replica watches and may even confiscate them", well ladies and gentlemen that is a complete myth. Of course its at the discretion of the jeweler on which watches he/she decides to work on, but in most cases, they are in business to service watches and won't turn you away. Also, they have no right to confiscate your replica since its your personal property. With Swiss Replicas, they use ETA movements which are used in hundreds of brand name watches so parts are readily available. The standard industry warranty for replicas is 1 year, if you see claims of 3 or 5+ years, its simply a selling point as most websites are not online that long in order to honor that warranty. A reputable company will handle any repair work and back up their product. If a problem arises after the warranty expires you can either contact the company who you ordered from or any local jeweler in your area.

• Genuine Swiss made replicas come with a 1 to 2 year warranty
• Genuine Japan made replicas come with a minimum 4 month warranty
